Browser is endless loading while generating string numeric with big range about faker HOT 6 CLOSED

I got something mixed up here: the function faker.string.numeric({ length: { min: 10000000, max: 99999999 }) tries to generate a numeric string with a random character length between 10000000-99999999, instead of numbers in the range between 10000000-99999999.

I therefore think that nothing can be solved here within the library. I am therefore closing the ticket.

If you haven't found it yet, faker.number.int() is probably what you are searching for.

Even with the "issue" resolved, this sounds like a performance issue for me. Am I wrong with that assumption?

One faker.string.numeric({ length: { min: 10_000_000, max: 99_999_999 }) call takes ~20seconds for me.
That's ~2_500 (50kk/20k) chars per millisecond (ms). IMO that is acceptable.

What is your expectation?

I was looking for a string representation. But using faker.number.int() and afterwards converting it into a string works too.
